It was “privatized” by turning it into a publicly traded company. But it was never sold, so the German state still owns 100% of it.

Yes, the value of potential future profits as reflected by high stock prices would indeed be hard to evaluate.
But assets, outstanding claims, in part even intellectual property? Companies already have to keep track of those.

I’m not entirely sure, what you’re advocating for.

There are Turkish supermarkets, restaurants, döner stalls, and barbers all over the place.

I also know a Turkish electrician, but I’ll go to him when I need an electrician, not when I need a Turk.

And why would they?
Afaik no European country just arbitrarily “closes” companies because of the behavior of one of their shareholders.

no legal requirement to sign a collective agreement and I don’t like unions strongarming companies into a deal that’s supposedly optional.

The Swedish courts seem to think that there is also no legal requirement for anyone to do what Musk wants.

Turd did not start commenting about Greenland until the 23rd of December.

The new forecast that gross domestic product will shrink by 0.2% this year compares with the government’s prediction in April of 0.3% growth and brings it into line with economists, who also have forecast a slight contraction. The German economy shrank by 0.3% in 2023.

Huge reason no one goes to cinemas anymore is cuz you can’t vape in there as freely as you can at home.

I assure you, as someone who doesn’t smoke or vape, that is not the reason I don’t go to cinemas.
On the contrary, being trapped in a room with dozens of smokers or vapers would further discourage me from going.

Your data isn’t really more private on the fediverse, is it?
Everything you post is shared with myriad instances.
You might not end up just handing it to some large tech corp but you also give up any remnant of control over it.

The real joke is that they converted DB into a publicly traded company but never sold the stocks so the German state still hold 100% of the stocks and more than half of the board are politicians.
